when the revolution did occur, president obama cut the funds of the pro-democracy movement. by the way, bush did not spend very many of them either. worse yet, the president of united states waited two weeks to make any comments until the revolution was basically suppressed. the only comment he made early on was when the announcement was made in 2009, when the election results came in, which was a fraudulent election. within one hour -- i think less than one hour -- and president obama said, it looks like a legitimate election. well, he is from chicago. of course it looked legitimate. [laughter] [applause] so, he continually appeased iran. i am happy he signed some sanctions today. but it is the first time i have seen him do anything to try to stand up to this regime that is building a nuclear weapon. anybody know where they are building it? the name of the town? qom. qom is a town outside of tehran. it is a very -- it has a very important religious meaning to tehran. it is the side of the well. the well was the residence of the 12th -- the man who ruled from this well for 7

john barrasso, united states senator for wyoming, at the democratic convention this week president obama tried to make the case for why he needs more time to do the job he was elected to do four years ago. as usual, the president gave a lofty speech. but his vision for america's future comes down to bigger government, higher taxes, and more spending. the conventions are over now. the soaring speeches have ended. it's time for rhetoric to meet reality. the reality is america is not better off than it was four years ago. today, 23 million americans are unemployed or underemployed, many are our friends, neighbors and family members. the undeniable truth is president obama is on track to have the worst jobs record of any president since world war ii. when the president was hyping his so called stimulus program, his economic team claimed unemployment would not go above 8 percent. and that it would be below 6 percent by now. instead, it's been higher than 8 percent for 43 straight months. it's bad enough the stimulus money was wasted, even worse, he borrowed the money. much of it from china. h
